| If you won the power ball tomorrow night would you 1. For sure, yup, I just won $800M and all I need is that new uber interconnect to make my system sing. I'll be happy forever .... | |
| Someone had mentioned Christopher Hansen on a thread I read the other day Dweller, the Hanson in Dayton, OH is spelled differently. As for Christopher Hansen, I did as geoffkait suggested, did a Google search and without digging too deep appears he is doing high end home theater installs for the rich and famous, i.e., ... | |
| Largest audiophile club in the world with over 1500 members Mofimadness, no that's not it, that one has over 2000 members. The one Taters refers to has over 1500 members. I think it's the Pagglesham one ... The audiophile philosopher strikes again! | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Taters .... Our very own audiophile philosopher. You stay awake nights thinking up all these questions you ask? Will you reach audio enlightenment? I wish you the best of luck. As for Rap, you know, it's kind of like Jazz. Would it last? To ... | |
| Would you buy from a firm that has a policy about not accepting phone calls Absolutely, as long as I can communicate I'm Ok with it. Actually I prefer e-mail, I can think about what I want to say and put it as clearly as possible. Phone calls are great, but many high end companies are small and don't have the staff (or ... | |
| VPI Traveler and Lyra Delos Bifwynne, no worries on the compatibility of Lyra cartridges on VPI unipivot arms. VPI has tried and recommended the Delos, Kleos, and Atlas cartridges (along with many other cartridges). Take a look at the VPI Forum on their website. The list ... | |
| I'm considering used Vandersteen Quatro Jetson, 90 dB is not very loud for peaks, but if that is an average loudness then it is fairly loud. Given the type of music you mentioned, and assuming 90 dB was the highest level measured, then you don't listen too loud. That's good for your h... | |
| I'm considering used Vandersteen Quatro The Quatro's are wonderful speakers, but I'm not familiar with the Prima Luna Classic. I did a quick search and now assume it is an integrated amp with 35 - 40 WPC (depending on tubes used), correct? If so it is probably not a good match. First... | |
| Why do some dealers Taters, you are such a deep thinker .... | |
| ARC discontinues Ref-2 SE phono preamp I get regular e-mails from a local Audio Research dealer, Paragon Sight and Sound, and yesterday they sent out a "special deal" on the Ref Phono 2 SE for $9500 (regular $13K) since Audio Research is discontinuing this model. Better act fast thoug... | |
| Need Inexpensive Digital Cable Not sure what you mean by "inexpensive", but a couple of very affordable, well engineered cables are those by Blue Jeans Cables and Cable Solutions. The Blue Jeans cables are made with Belden cable and use Canare RCA connectors. They run about $... | |
| Gene Simmons says the rock business is dead "Or is Gene just being his dramatic self?" Absolutely. He can't suck any more money out with his tired music and horrible reality shows so he thinks it's dead. Please just go away Gene .... | |
| Vintage tube amp resurrection with Variac? Lots of good, albeit varying, advice. My technique was based on the recommendation of a well known manufacturer who's name I have forgotten. I will say that technique is not one you would want to pay someone to do, but then if you are paying someo... | |
| Vintage tube amp resurrection with Variac? That paranthetical bit should be factors of twenty and ten, not ten and five. Hit the Submit button when I should have hit the Preview button! | |
| Vintage tube amp resurrection with Variac? I have used a variac to bring back equipment that hasn't been turned on for a year or two, but decades is another story! My method is to start out at zero and bring up in either six or twelve volt increments (I use these values because they divide... |
